The presence feature works differently when Microsoft Live Communications 

Server 2005 is used as the call server. For more information, refer to the next 

section, 

Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server:

SoundPoint IP phones can used with Microsoft Live Communications 

Server 2005 and Microsoft Office Communicator to help improve business 

efficiencies and increase productivity and to share ideas and information 

immediately with business contacts. 
For instructions on changing the configuration files, refer to

XML file: <Ethernet

The <bw>0</bw> (buddy watching) and <bb>0</bb> (buddy 
blocking) elements in the <Ethernet address>-directory.xml file 
dictate the Presence aspects of directory entries.

The user can edit the directory contents.  The Watch Buddy and 
Block Buddy fields control the buddy behavior of contacts.

Changes will be stored in the phone’s flash file system and backed up 
to the boot server copy of <Ethernet address>-directory.xml if this 
is configured. When the phone boots, the boot server copy of the 
directory, if present, will overwrite the local copy.

Any contacts added through the SoundPoint IP phone’s buddy list will appear in as 
a contact in Microsoft Office Communicator and Windows Messenger.

Polycom recommends that the BLF not be used in conjunction with the Microsoft 
Live Communications Server 2005 feature. For more information, refer to
